Now if you want to grow closely spaced vegetables like beds of lettuce or other greens, beets, etc. There is a hand pulled device called paper pot transplanter. You use a special seeding tray to start your transplants, then as you start to pull the machine, the plants pull apart in a sort of paper chain so that there is a plant every 4, 6, or 8 inches and it plants a lot of them in a hurry without bending over! Its the cats meow when it comes to closely spaced bedded crops. Lots of youtube videos on it. Very tempting for me to get one, but its over $1000 and I don't currently do much in the way of salad greens.
I used to plant all mine by hand into the plastic mulch. Not to bad if you only have a few hundred plants at a time. But now that I plant about a half acre of cantaloupe at a time, there is no reason to go without a transplanter. I gave $1200 for my Rainflo model 1200 used, which would have cost me $2000 or so new, if you include the shipping. Deerfield Supplies in Elkton, Ky is a dealer for them. Rainflo is out of Pennsylvania.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
